In the 21st century, obtaining wealth and success is the driving force behind most individuals’ ambitions. This is because of the popular misconception that money can buy happiness and leave you content and at peace. Everyone has a sense of ambition driving them to study, work, and be contributing members of society. Yet, it’s important to acknowledge this driving force’s potential impact on our well-being. One aspect to consider is the prevalence of chronic stress, which affects millions annually.
Our modern lifestyle is very demanding and often requires you to juggle multiple commitments between work, family, and personal time, which is usually the root cause of stress. Many times ambitious individuals tend to prioritize their careers to the extent that they make decisions that negatively impact their health. By doing this they sacrifice health with stress and other health issues reducing productivity.
Amidst the hustle of ambitious pursuits, it’s easy to overlook the conscious self-care practices that contribute to our overall wellness. Whether it’s opting for convenient yet less nutritious meals during busy workdays or finding it challenging to prioritize exercise due to time constraints, ambition can sometimes overshadow these crucial activities. Additionally, individuals driven by ambition may view practices like prioritizing sleep and relaxation techniques such as meditation as once-in-a-while indulgences. Dharana at Shillim, a luxury wellness retreat, not only offers stress-relieving activities while being enveloped in nature but also guides you on how to prioritize your wellness and deal with stress through conscious choices.
